I'm thinking about bus service along the lines of an exclusive bus lane where buses operate outside the normal flow of traffic. I've posted a few examples below.
One reason why bus service is usually so poor in many urban areas is that the buses operate in mixed traffic and the process of picking up and dropping off passengers makes it all so time-consuming. These systems as I've shown here help the buses operate far more efficiently than your typical city bus.
What you have there is a trolley with no tracks. Funny thing about trolley tracks, they don’t get gridlocked.
